HELP WITH DERM TERMS!
Subject: HELP WITH DERM TERMS!
I have 2 dermatology - I am usually not a derm girl, so any help is MUCH appreciated.
Assessment: Nevus s/l: roo-let-ee s/l: tip-e-er midabdomen. (Nevus ruletti tipiar midabdomen)?? AND:
s/l: Dermatified (or dromatified) broma right shin. She uses this phrase in a previous sentence:
On his right shin he has superficial change that appears like a dermatified broma; however, it is not as nodular beneath the shin, but it is definitely excoriated or irritated on the surface.
I just cannot find any info on these two - sorry this is so long. I am covering for someone and would prefer not to send to the editor!! TIA

I wrote this one down -- cross-referencing in both "c" and "s"
Browsing this morning, I read original post and thought I had had "servant" as "cervatte" or something before -- looked up a couple different spellings, and could not find, so figured I must have been wrong and moved on. However, this one would have bugged me enough I would have spent more time searching later...
Glad you posted the correct answer.
